At the end as I summed up my points I was like "Oh, I'm fine, I only have like 40 points PER COLUMN". I then realized I had to add the Fear and Avoidance Columns.
This comment made me undergo the same exact situation you just said 😂
Keep it up guys and make sure to take the test again at some point. Many factors play a role and can influence the score, such as day of the week (Monday morning people tend to give different answers than on Friday afternoon). Also, a great tool to check if certain things are helping you to cope and get better or if they don't. Best wishes
I got 122
I just got 136
HELP SAMEEEE I GOT 112 WHEN ADDING BOTH😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have very severe social anxiety and yeah it’s true I can’t stand eating in public 😭😭
Omg same even when I’m in my own house if my brothers gf is there I just feel like I can’t even chew or even in the car I feel like I’m breathing to loud when I’m not
Omg. I feel like I'm chewing too loud and everyone can hear me and their all staring at me judging me. It's so embarrassing.
Maybe that's why I choose to eat in my room. I feel safe there. No one is staring at me or judging me. Just me, myself and I.

I've been diagnosed with depression, social anxiety and Asperger's syndrome like 3 years ago, my score was 120 if I did the maths correctly
Hey Alienka, sounds like a lot to handle. We wish you good luck on your journey and please feel free to reach out to us in case you have any questions concerning social anxiety. Best wishes
This was great, been searching for "social anxiety websites" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Telaavar Anxious Amanita - (search on google )?
It is a great exclusive product for removing the root cause of social anxiety without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got astronomical success with it.
Were you able to get help from a mental health professional.?
@@eastside0434 yeah! I've been to therapy a lot, got medication, now I'm able to function! There are worse and better days, but I think I'm better now :^)
“Looking at people you don’t know very well in the eyes” um I can’t even look into my moms eyes uwu
That's a good point! While some people struggle with interactions with strangers, others do so with people close to them or authoritative figures. Your CSA Team
I got 99, but idk if I actually have social anxiety or if I’m just overreacting.
OMG I got 99 too and same!!!
I have very severe social anxiety and I walk another two flights of stairs just to use a public bathroom with nobody in it and I was even so scared before my own party😅
I was diagnosed with social anxiety about 5 years ago and when i took the test i scored 126 so yay me i have very severe social anxiety.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Did you receive treatment after the diagnosis? Your CSA Team
I got 82 points (missing out 2) but some of the questions mostly depend on the person and how I feel around them in that moment. And I can stand up for myself if someone is treating me badly
I was diagnosed with social anxiety a year and a half ago, but I thought that it was severe tops. Well, I was wrong, it’s very severe. Yay me.
Thank you for this channel, your content is amazing!
Hey Ann, thank you for sharing your experience. Psychological tests often depend on many different things, and you might laugh, but especially on Mondays people see the world a little more grey than on Fridays, for instance. Just saying, you might score severe if you take the test another day. However, wanted to let you know that many people have been able to get better, even though you might read online that it is a chronic disease. Any questions, we are here.
@Snow Crystal thank you for your question. First of all, we want to point out that this is not a test created by us, but it is an official self report test used in different parts of the world, has been scientifically tested many times and proven an appropriate assessment method. We recommend, however, to not self-diagnose (just as you pointed out correctly).
Our first and most important recommendation is to seek professional help from a local and qualified therapist. If this is not an option in the moment, you might be interested in online counselling with one of our staff members (specializing in clinical psychology and years of experience working with socially anxious people). We are currently giving away free counselling packages with aduration of 3 / 5 / or 10 sessions, which will be carried out in February 2020. If you are interested feel free to contact us at contact@conquersocialanxiety.com
We also recommend taking a look at our free eBook "State of the Art Interventions for Social Anxiety Disorder", which you can download as PDF by following this link: bit.ly/conquerebookyoutube
It summarizes 17 distinct approaches from psychotherapy that have been empirically tested and proven effective. You might find some useful insights in these pages.
Any other questions, feel always free to reach out.

I don't know how to tell my parents that I might have social anxiety
Thank you for this video. And all your videos. I was diagnosed properly by my psychiatrist today, and this channel has been very helpful to me throughout the process of navigating myself, my childhood, and my experience with social anxiety. Your content is a great, well put together resource.
Thank you, we are glad you find it helpful. Also great you reached out to a psychiatrist! Important step!
I was a 70, and now I'm a 29, I got by because I never avoid it anymore, I just head strait in
Hi Soren Felix, thanks for sharing your experience! Seeking exposure is a powerful tool. Great you are so courageous!
Thank you so much for making this video, i knew im pretty anxios in all that stuff but i didn’t though it was that serious, 92 points, almost in the very severe category
I got 72 thanks for making this vid . I haven’t known that i have such bad social anxiety before
I got 119,I can't even take a single selfie of myself 🥺
Same. I'll take one, and be like, "Nope."
Same
Apparently I have severe anxiety o-o. Never really thought how scared I am and anxious..
I got 72, so i'm marked. I'm not surprised since i've been officially diagnosed with social anxiety by a psychiatrist.
The reason probably why i haven't reached severe or very severe is that i don't have that big of an urge to avoid most social situations, i'm very extroverted so i love social situations (which is a pain as my social anxiety get the best of me and inhibits me from doing what i love, w
talking to people), its just that i fear them WHEN the situation actually happens. But to be more specific, i fear the feeling of fear that social anxiety brings, ofcourse i fear almost all people aswell lol
When u watch this vid 2 prove 2 ur friends that you don’t have social anxiety but score a 101:😬
LMAO 🤣
I scored a 99 😬, I’ve always known that I’ve never functioned normally in social situations especially when talking to people one on one. I’ve haven’t gotten it checked out though, but it’s been affecting my life since forever 😳
Me: *psh im just overreacting*
I understand you 😢
The fact I got 114 is scary but I do have all the symptoms of social anxiety and I’m going to the doctors tomorrow to hopefully find out what’s wrong with me and if it is this.
i got the same score
I already know I have social anxiety and depression my hands get sweet when I'm in public I mostly always think that people would judge me how I eat or anything it is embarrassing
hi, sorry i wanna ask you guys something. what's the context of 'drinking' in situation number 4: drinking with others in public, is it for liquor or just drinking water in general?
Hi Lilis, this refers to drinking in general, but does not exclude liquor. Some people with SAD worry about spilling their drinks, shaky hands, etc.
I got 85, but as usual, im doubting myself. Thing is, didn't know how to answer some of the questions. For example, for speaking up in a meeting, I would never do UNLESS there was a major consequence. Like if the boss says that he would fire you if you don't speak up. This was how presenting in class worked for me. I was terrified to do it, but I still did it because I feared getting a bad score and failing the grade for that year. I was awful at presenting, still am, and would never willingly do it in the future.
I think too much. Even with questions like this.
Many of your questions sound for me as, are you introverted or extrovert?
Hey Carsten, that's right, many question have this component. It is important to keep in mind, however, that being an introvert does not necessarily go along with social anxiety, and that extroverted people can have social anxiety as well.
Hello, thank you for the video. I have a question. I am a clinical psychologist and whenever I pass this test to a client, they say, to a lot of the items: "Well, it depends if I know the person or not". What do you usually say to the client when they ask this?
OK I have 120 points can you please help me i suffer from social anxiety and i cant even tell my own mother 😢
Im only 13 years old. And I don't think i can handle it very well
I got 117 points.. it that severe or somethin or did I add them up wrong because I added my fear and avoidance which I think is what i'm supposed to do lol
Hey! You did it correctly. Sometimes it is helpful to take the test a second time, since there are many things that can affect your answers (like having a bad day). Keep in mind that social anxiety is only considered a disorder when it causes significant suffering. If you feel like it is not that bad, you might disregard the high number you scored in the test. In the end, it is about how you subjectively FEEL. Best wishes!
130 points- Huh..
My score was 100 and i took some test for depression too it seems like i got it to (i lose hope and overthink everyyhing and just be depresed or have mini pannic attaks nearly every day)but i dont want to self diagnose but i cant tell anyone about it cause every one just thinks that i am over reacting and i cant seek medical help cause of the circumstances. Do you have any advise to help me and i tried taking the tests more than once and it is about 97 to 100
Minyatür Dünyası I also have mini panic attacks and depression, if you can’t get medical help then find a person or people that you can talk to about it, you just need people who can give you hope
@@jonathankirkpatrick9493 thanks hope you get better too
Hey Minyatür! First of all, social anxiety disorder often comes along with depression, with depression being a result of having to deal with social anxiety (not in all the cases, but for most people the SAD comes first). Experts typically recommend working on the social anxiety, since it will have positive effects on the depression when the SAD reduces.
Self-diagnosing is not recommended. However, the test you took is used as a self-report test worldwide and has a lot of science that backs up its accuracy. Of course we always recommend working with a professional.
One thing that might help you is looking for a local support group. We have organized such groups for people with SAD in different cities and have found that affected people really benefit from meeting others with the same issue.
Also, we are currently running a raffle for free counselling sessions. You might want to sign up, if you win you would get free online counselling sessions with one of our staff members. We have years of experience working with socially anxious people and are dedicated to helping people just like you. You can sign up for our raffle here: bit.ly/freecounsellingraffle
Best wishes and feel free to reach out any time!
@@conquersocialanxiety thank you for answering i will look for support groups but like i said i dont want to self diagnose so i will go to a professional when i can
Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you, best of luck!
I got 100, didn’t think I would get that high
Hello, we are Conducting a research on the topic : Prevalence of Social phobia among adults. To carry out this study we are using Liebowitz Social Anxiety scale as our tool. As we need permission to use this tool, Would you please help us to contact the author to use this tool for our project work.
Thank you.
Hey Rohan, the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale is widely applied by mental health professionals and in most studies regarding SAD. If you cite the author correctly and add proper bibliography, you should be fine. Best wishes!
I had 137 out of 144. how would I approach my parents and ask to see someone for a diagnosis or help?
I fear almost everything generally all that involves people, I love to learn languages but I can't develop my skills cuz of that
I got 116. Recently ive noticed I get really scared when speaking. I decided to try this..even if its true...I cant tell anyone. They will make fun of me and laugh and I know it. Or ask me very personal questions.
This really helped me figure some things out. I figured I was just overreacting and it turns out that I wasn’t. It really clears up a lot. But thx so much anyway. I feel better knowing it’s not just in my head
128. Freaking. Points.

Ok I got 105, I thought it was wrong 😂😂 so I have severe social anxiety, kinda already knew that
Yup it’s very severe along with dissociation
just trying to finish the vdo give anxiety
I have never gotten diagnosed with social anxiety. But on this test I scored 119.
I scored 124 and is very severe social anxiety and i know that my social anxiety is very high
If I added it up correctly I got 135 points? Sorry if that's not even possible because that would mean I made a massive mistake but that's REALLY high-
Mine is 106 if I did the math correctly, I also have depression. Should I be worry :(
Hello Moon Catz, depression often comes along with social anxiety. In most cases, social anxiety comes first and depression follows at a later point. It is advisable to seek professional help if you feel overwhelmed. Please also feel free to check out our website, we have lots of information up there. Your CSA Team
My score is 126
Could i might have social anxiety?
Hey there! Thanks for sharing! An official diagnosis can only be made by a qualified professional. Check out our article on the topic: www.conquersocialanxiety.com/diagnosis/ This test is only meant to give you an initial idea of your situation. Your CSA Team
@@conquersocialanxiety yes,i ofc know that i can't self diagnose,i did this test just to give myself an idea if there could be' a chance of me having social anxiety
123, i get shocked how the q attacked me but thank you so much , i hope i will come back to this comment with professional diagnosis just to make sure i am right
Hey! A diagnosis always should be made by a qualified mental health care professional. This test is just a means of getting an idea of your situation. Your CSA Team
I got 83 but I might of got a couple of by a point so I’d say right in the middle of marked and servere (extremely marked)
What foes the marked mean? Does it just mean somewhat bad social anxiety?
I got a 22. Does that mean I don’t have social anxiety?? 🤔 I feel like I’m just lazy sometimes and don’t go to things bc I just wanna stay home and lay in my bed watching Netflix 😂
With a score as low as this, social anxiety DISORDER is very unlikely. You may experience some social anxiety in certain situations, but this score is really very low. You might simply be introverted or simply someone who enjoys time by herself. Best wishes!
I got 125 that is kinda high and I know if I tell my parents they'll just brush it off like it's nothing
Hey Kayla, thanks for sharing!
I got marked, but does someone know what that means?
Wait so do I add up both rows together or each by themselves? My fear row got 54 and my avoidance row got 42 but both together is 96. Which one is correct?
Hi N I C, you have to add them together. So your final score would be 96. Your CSA Team
@@conquersocialanxiety oh okay. Thanks a lot.
Oop I have a 117 i have very severe social anxiety I’m only a teenager-
Kayla, thanks for sharing! Just know that there are effective interventions for those suffering from SAD. For official diagnoses, always consult your mental health care professional. All the best! Your CSA Team
@@conquersocialanxiety yep I know!
I got 82, but what exactly does that mean, like what does it say about me? How can I overcome this?
Hey there, diagnoses like this one should not be taken too seriously. More important than your score is how you feel - if you don't sense that this represents a problem to you, no reasons to be worried. If it does, however, you might want to consider checking out our tips for social anxiety ( www.conquersocialanxiety.com/treatment/tips/ ) or even reach out to a mental health professional. Best wishes!
Gah dayum I have 119💀 (I'm not that shocked by the results ngl)
Is social anxiety something one can overcome? As for now I'm still a teenager so I hope that one day I'll just magically be able to socialize with anyone perfectly fine (so my family tells me at least)🏃♂
I got 137, so that's why I don't have friends even if I really want to have them
I got 114 but I feel like I'm exaggerating.
Hi Erica, thanks for sharing your results! With tests like these, it is always recommendable to do them several times at different times of the week. The results may be easily influenced by the day of the week (Monday morning the world looks more grey than on Friday afternoon). Also, if you do not feel that your social anxiety holds you back or generates significant suffering, you may be only affected by social anxiety, but do not meet the criteria for an official "disorder" diagnosis. Remember to always consult your mental health care professional for official diagnoses. Best wishes, Your CSA Team
What about 141?
me:gets a 94
also me: eh I bet i’m just overreacting
I’m not sure if I got social anxiety and I also don’t know who I need to talk to to test if I got it or not, I always just thought I was shy, but I’m questioning it, because I noticed that it’s influencing everything I do and say in a big way, maybe someone could please tell me where I can go and test it? Thank you a lot (my test results were 125) I don’t know if that’s right?
Hi Sarah! This test is a self-report version which is used to give you a first impression. In order to test it professionally, we recommend researching mental health facilities & professionals in your area. An official diagnosis can only be made by a professional.
However, diagnoses should be viewed with caution. They help professionals and affected people to have get an idea of what is happening and on what interventions may be helpful.
Also, keep in mind that social anxiety is a normal human trait. It is very helpful & adaptive when it is not too intense, as it helps us make good impressions, which is crucial for interpersonal relationships, doing well in the workforce, etc. What converts it to a disorder is the suffering it provokes in some people. If you feel it affects your life negatively and you suffer because of it - and you miss out on things because of it - you may want to seek treatment.
If you have any questions, you can always reach out to us.
All the best, Your CSA Team
@@conquersocialanxiety thank you a lot, yes I will go and seek professional help to see if I got it, it does affect me negatively and I would like to improve it, thank you very much for your reply :)
@@Ashketchup33 you are welcome! Simply reach out whenever you like and good luck!
Mine was 152...
I got severe, yay
I think people who checked this out are peeps who are anxious of being anxious? Or is it just me? I got 96 btw
Hey Zeroh 21, what you mention is indeed a common problem in people with social anxiety. Since in the mind of a socially anxious person experiencing anxiety means potential danger to be seen as anxious, a fear of the fear, or anxiety of the anxiety, often develops. Especially to the subgroups of people who fear displaying physical symptoms of anxiety and those whose social performance is drastically impacted by high anxiety levels are affected by this phenomenon.
What to do when you have 93 score
Hey there! This totally depends on your subjective experience. If you feel social anxiety is holding you back and you suffer because of it, you may want to look for professional help. Other people score quite high, but do not feel like their life is affected too negatively.
So i got 116 i took it again and i had 115 :/ i feel like i have social anxiety since i was elementary school but i dont want to self diagnose.....I also feel like if i tell someone they would judge me so i dont know what i should do im 11 years old.....Im very confused on what i should do 😓😖😞😣 also im about to turn 12 but still..... :/
Please speak to someone you know cares deeply about you! You’re so young still and you can learn from this and grow. Because while you’re young you can make mistakes and try so many things but as you get older you’ll be filled with regret and you won’t have the same opportunities you have now. I’m 22 now and I’ve seen so many of my friends grow out of their anxiety. While I’ve been stuck here for so long living in fear. I wish I would’ve done something way before. I’m not trying to rush you or anything. But everyday try to take baby steps out of your comfort zone. You’ll realize that people won’t notice what you’re doing because they’re too focused on themselves. It’s easier said than done but it works. I wish I could go back to my 12 year old self so I could be who I wanted to be instead of hiding.
@@pleasestop1309 thank you,really.i will follow your advice 😄😄💛 it is still hard,but i will try.
Hey Yaritzel, you took a crucial first step which most people with these fears never take: sharing your experience. I have organized and led various support groups for people with SAD, and I can tell you that most people only reach out after suffering for a long time. Fortunately, a lot has happened since SAD was first recognized, and by now we have effective treatments for different types of people. Given your age, I would advise you to consider sharing your feelings with your parents. A psychotherapy might seem intimidating at your age, but it is way more common than you may think and can have great results, especially for those starting young. Best wishes!
Hey Please Stop, great to see affected people mutually encouraging each other to reach out for help and get better. As I told Yaritzel, most people that join support groups are age >40 and have suffered for many years. With that in mind, you are still very young and it might be worth it considering reaching out to a mental health professional. A lot can be changed if you are brave and persistent. Best wishes!
@@conquersocialanxiety tbh,I thought no one would see my comment,that's why I wrote that and this.im planning to tell my mom,I'm now 12,but it's hard.i tried giving her some clues,but she said I'm just shy.my whole life I thought I was just shy.the older I got,it got worse.im currently shaking because I'm not used to sharing my feelings.Thank you for your advice,I will tell my parents about what I am feeling.
I got 129😭

@@conquersocialanxiety thanks I will

I got 117..
I got 119, Holy crap!

I got 106- is that okay or-
Hi Sofie, do not take this result too serious or as something fixed. Results may vary even for the same person taking the test. What counts is how you feel. Do you feel overwhelmed and suffer because of your social anxiety? Then you may want to consider asking for professional help. All the best!
